Hoya mariae

A little-known Philippine Hoya, formerly placed in the separate genus Clemensiella, with Clemensiella dischidioides and Hoya viracensis now treated as synonyms. Nearly all herbarium material comes from Mt Bulusan in Sorsogon (southern Luzon), with a few collections from Bohol. It is a forest epiphyte from warm, humid, mid-elevation forest, and there is little reliable cultivation information for this exact taxon.

Where it grows wild

Epiphytic twiner in humid broadleaf forest; labels record it on the forested slopes of Mt Bulusan. The old name dischidioides suggests a small-leaved, Dischidia-like habit, but detailed field notes are scarce.

The one dated collection with an elevation is at about 900 m on Mt Bulusan; older Bohol material is probably from lower elevations.
